Hmm-hmm-hmm talk to me Ohio
Hmm-hmm-hmm can't you hear my song.

Down your city streets somewhere a country girl is runnin'
Seekin' peace and comfort in the midnight of your soul
She thinks she saw a rainbow reachin' down to touch you
And within your arms she thinks she'll find the pot of gold.

Hmm-hmm-hmm talk to me Ohio
Hmm-hmm-hmm tell me where she's gone
Talk to me Ohio, can't you hear my song?

A Greyhound bus in Macon took her to Atlanta
The Silver Bird to Cleveland then I lost her track
I've looked in every honky tonk from Akron to Columbus
From Dayton to Toledo Ohio give her back.

Hmm-hmm-hmm talk to me Ohio
Hmm-hmm-hmm tell me where she's gone
Talk to me Ohio, can't you hear my song?

If she wakes up tomorrow and bathes among your flowers
Walk beside your waters and feels your gentle breeze
She'll want to stay and sleep inside your loving arms forever
And if she does Ohio who's to sleep with me.

Hmm-hmm-hmm talk to me Ohio
Hmm-hmm-hmm tell me where she's gone
Talk to me Ohio, can't you hear my song?

Hmm-hmm-hmm hmm-hmm-hmm...
